Partnering with Ensco to deliver jackup rig pipe-handling upgrades

We provided offshore drilling contractor Ensco plc with comprehensive upgrades to two of their jackup rigs, the ENSCO 140 and ENSCO 141, giving them an opportunity to differentiate their rigs in a highly competitive marketplace.

Wired drill pipe will be the enabler for future drilling campaigns

The frame agreement signed with Equinor in December is another step forward for the provision of IntelliServ™ wired drill pipe for their global fleet of offshore drilling rigs. The future of drilling — one where the surface and downhole environments are united by real-time integrated technologies — is here.

Using our XLC-S™ connector, we helped Aquaterra Energy deliver their Sea Swift concept — a conductor-supported platform ideal for shallow-water applications — to DeNovo Energy, an operator in the Gulf of Paria, in record time.
